Chesser aka Abu Talhah Al-Amreeki has pleaded guilty to providing material support to Al-Qaeda-inspired al-Shebab and making threats against South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.1 Chester had warned that Stone and Parker risked the same fate as Theo Van Gogh for depicting Mohammed in South Park and posted their office addresses online.1 He also posted the personal information of those who joined the Facebook group "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" on jihadist websites saying it was "a place to start."1 According to the FBI, he also posted online the U.S. Army Ranger Handbook in order to help terrorists target U.S. Airlines.2 Chester also admitted placing fake suspicious packages around to make police drop their guard when dealing with such reports so that there would be a "Boom! No more kafir" while inspecting a real one.1,2 He made two attempts to travel to Somalia to join al-Shebab in jihad terror and was arrested on his second attempt.1
Chester seems to have converted to Islam after dating a Muslim girl in school.2 He broke up with her after a brief period but married another Muslim woman soon after and quickly had a child with her. A high school friend Drew Harrington said Chester was "always trying to find himself" and "just wanted to be part of something".2
